Strange behavior with USERS

alright.. i did the following:

created some openbox config file for my user in /home/USER/.config/openbox/rc.xml
logged out.
logged in as root
changed to user USER with "su USER"
started X

openbox will now not use the config file... (it seems to think i am root)

delete the config file
restart X
do something in obconf

error: "cant find config file: /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml"


question is simple: WHY?

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
